Costco's Ancient Grain and Vegetable Salad is a fresh, ready-to-eat deli salad sold by the pound from the refrigerated prepared foods section. The salad features a hearty blend of ancient grains including quinoa and bulgur wheat, combined with chickpeas, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, fresh celery, red onion, kale, and a cabbage and carrot blend. It is dressed with a bright apple cider vinaigrette that ties the ingredients together without making the salad soggy.

The texture is a standout feature — the grains offer a satisfying chew while the fresh vegetables add crunch, and the cranberries provide a touch of sweetness balanced by the tangy dressing. It works equally well as a standalone vegetarian lunch or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken, salmon, or other proteins. It can also be served over fresh greens or used as a wrap filling.

The salad is best consumed within 3–4 days of the pack date. Note that this item has been involved in a labeling recall (item #25247 was at times mislabeled as a different product), so consumers with soy or almond allergies should verify the label carefully before purchasing.
